Rust resistant is not rust proof. The roads might be dry when you leave for work but could be any combination of icy, snow covered , slushy and wet, when you need to return home. Its Canada, not South Florida. Big fat tires are good on the dry, and with diligent driving ok in the wet, but they are no good in the winter. Corvettes are not cheap to maintain and throwing salt and brine into the mix, in a car with 30 year old electronics and wiring, would just be looking for trouble. IMO its the wrong car for the winter.
